Grief-stricken and angry, Roberta must find a way to pay those debts. Remembering a story by Ovid about intergenerational sex, she decides to write an erotic novel, using a penname because she is worried that her career will suffer if her real identity is discovered. Drama critic John Schubert suspects the truth. Eager to bring Roberta down in revenge for some comments she once made, he finds an opportunity when he spots her with her publisher, who is well-known for the erotic literature he publishes. Meantime, Roberta hears some dirt about Schubert from the street kids with whom she does poetry workshops at a drop-in centre. When Roberta confronts Schubert, he says, "I'll keep your dirty secret if you keep mine." Roberta's life is now a mess of potential blackmail and intrigue. What's more, she learns an unpleasant truth about her "Daddy," a doctor whose memory she has always revered. Roberta's interactions with the street kids and the loyalty of her two sons and her friend Carl Talbot enable her to face her bruised world and move forward."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aInanna poetry & fiction series. 606 $aDebt$vFiction 606 $aErotic literature writers$vFiction 615 0$aDebt 615 0$aErotic literature writers 676 $aC813.6 700 $aBirch$b Ann$01248304 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148757303321 996 $aThe secret life of Roberta Greaves$92893276 997 $aUNINA
